Greece vs Rome with Boris Johnson and Mary Beard

Teaching Greece and Rome? Here Boris Johnson, one of Britains best-known politicians, and Mary Beard, an English Classical scholar and Professor of Classics at the University of Cambridge, debate which civilization was greater.

Its a bit long and at times a bit boring, but overall still good.

"Vote for the Greeks," Boris Johnson urges, "because no matter how often or how badly they fell short, it was those Periclean ideals that corresponds most closely to our own."

But Mary Beard asks, "But what happened to Sparta?"   She notes that Greece was not just Athens.

Grails vs Rails comparison

While following some of the Grails and Rails tutorials (Grails: The Definitive Guide to Grails. RoR: Creating a weblog in 15 minutes) I noticed a big difference on how they approach development. Consequently, I started a thread (Dynamic Domain classes) on the Grails user mailing list to confirm. What I found, thanks to Tim Pidgen, was that Grails is intentionally domain-centric (ie model-centric) whereas Rails is more database-centric. Whats the difference? With Grails you modify the domain classes (models) and the database is updated automatically. So properties are explicitly defined in the Grails domain classes; no database modification. Conversely, with Rails you create your "empty" model class and after you modify the database (add new fields to a table) you can just refresh the page; no need to add variables to your models.

Not sure either one is right or wrong; just wanted to point out the differences because it is a pretty significant difference.
